11. They sacrificed to the Lord that day 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep from the spoil they had brought.
12. They entered into the covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and soul;
13. and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.
14. Moreover, they made an oath to the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets and with horns.
15. All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with their whole heart and had sought Him earnestly, and He let them find Him. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.
16. He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah, and Asa cut down her horrid image, crushed it and burned it at the brook Kidron.
17. But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa's heart was blameless all his days.
18. He brought into the house of God the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver and gold and utensils.
19. And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign.
